Indescribable cyberpunk

The recruitment of clinic staff was completed in just one day under the premise that Suzi deliberately accelerated the progress.

The rest are the cleaning staff who come regularly and the receptionist at the front desk.

These people do not need interviews, they only need an online recruitment notice, and qualified job seekers will naturally contact them.

"It will be put into trial operation tomorrow to let the employees become familiar with the equipment in the clinic. You will also have to be present when the time comes. It won't take long. Is the opening ceremony necessary?"

"There is no need to go to such trouble. The opening ceremony is to attract the attention of guests. This is completely unnecessary for us."

Zhu Jue was not very interested in wearing a big red flower standing at the door, and immediately rejected Suzi's idea. The latter had no objection to this and just nodded to express understanding.

After chatting about trivial matters in the clinic for a while, the topic between the two of them turned to Zhu Jue's outing today, and the location of the conversation also moved from the office on the first floor to the small living room on the second floor.

"I haven't found any valuable information about the name "Sect of Thorns" on the network of Thousand Sails City. The occasional mention is limited to superficial religious understanding, and I regard it as dozens of small and unpopular sects that exist in Thousand Sails City. One of the religions.”

After learning that the human rights march three years ago was dominated by the Thorn sect in the middle and later stages, Suzi immediately began to try to search for information in this regard.

The results were unsatisfactory.

"This is normal. People in the federal government office told me that the Thorn Sect is not recognized in Thousand Sails City today. I think the non-recognition here is not limited to religious status. I am afraid they will deny that this religion even appeared in the human rights march. ."

According to the official statement of the Qianfan City government, the failure of the human rights march was entirely because they were still not satisfied with the "reasonable" conditions given by the government, so the government only reluctantly ended this "farce" after the second compromise. ".

It is normal for the winner to change history.

"Could there be a connection between this sect and Ouroboros?"

Motoko has not forgotten Sean's exposed identity. It is not yet clear whether he is a member of the Thorn Cult, but his identity as a member of the Ouroboros Organization is certain.

"I have a guess."

Shaking the fruit plate on the low table, Zhu Jue thought for a moment and then picked up an orange and placed it in the middle of the table, and then said,

"If we consider this as the main crowd of the march, the real number is tens of thousands."

"The emergence of the Thorn Sect should have affected nearly half of the marching crowd."

Peel off the orange peel, break it in half, and Zhu Jue eats half of it.

"Of course it's impossible for all of this half of the crowd to be believers. In my opinion, 90% of them are blind followers. It's okay to let them shout slogans, but it's impossible for them to do anything for this sect. Only 10% of the believers who truly know the Sect of Thorns and agree with its philosophy."

After eating most of it, only two pieces of orange meat were left. Zhu Jue separated the two pieces, held one piece in each hand, and shook it left and right.

"This 10% number should be between 10,000 and 20,000. This sounds like a very large number. What we need to understand is how this Thorn Sect emerged. It is organized by Ouroboros The predecessor is still said to be an organization that existed at the same time as the Ouroboros organization."

"The key question is what role does Zero play now?"

Suzi took another orange and placed it next to the one in Zhu Jue's hand.

The gap is not small.

It's okay to say that it's just an Ouroboros organization, but the Ouroboros symbol coincides with the symbol on a certain "zero" organization executive in the scene obtained by the dream inquiry.

If "Zero" also intervened in the human rights organization three years ago, then the order may have to be rearranged.

After all, whether it is the Thorn Cult or Ouroboros, compared to "Zero", an organization that exists in the dark side of the world, they are just a small piece of orange flesh in Zhu Jue's hand!

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

After swallowing the remaining orange in one gulp, Zhu Jue said in a muffled voice.

If Zhu Jue and Suzi want to find out what happened to Ouroboros, they cannot avoid the human rights demonstration three years ago.

However, as the investigation deepens, the things involved become more and more complicated.

There seem to be clues everywhere, but if you really make up your mind to investigate, you will find that behind these seemingly clear clues there seems to be a shadow that is so thick that it cannot be resolved.

"I just said hello to the person from the federal government office and asked him to help collect information on the human rights march and the Thorn Sect. It's better not to have too many expectations from him in the short term. Most of the information he has is three years old. It is not easy to restart the investigation now that we have accumulated it in the past.”

Even though he was promised a reward, Zhu Jue still didn't think Rona could bring him many surprises. It was just an investigation choice.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone placed on the low table began to vibrate.

Caller: Rona Nkaus.

"Hello, Mr. Hannibal?"

Rona's voice sounded a little nervous.

"It's me, have you noticed?"

Zhu Jue, who suddenly felt a little pain in his cheek, looked at Su Zi and shrugged, making a silent gesture.

“Remember the community when you were talking to me today?”

"Of course, the milk tea in that cafe is pretty good."

"There was a murder near that cafe!"

Standing at the door of the restaurant, looking at the large number of patrol officers diagonally across the street and the virtual warning cordon displayed outside the building, Rona glanced back at his wife and children behind him and said in a deep voice.

Having just received a large amount of extra money, he specially asked his wife to take leave tonight and took the whole family out to have a nice meal. Who knew that not long after he sat down, there was a scream from across the street.

"Well, Mr. Connor, I understand your urgency, but what I want to know is about the Thorn Cult or the Human Rights Demonstration, not this kind of murder case. I am not a detective. Can't I just leave these matters to the patrol?"

Zhu Jue thought that he had stimulated Rona Enkaos by giving him two rolls of cash. The latter might be a little too excited now and wanted to report everything he saw to see if he could get a reward.

"No, this is not a simple murder case. I will send you the photos I just bought from a witness. You will understand after reading the photos."

Rona knew what Zhu Jue was thinking and quickly explained.

The murder scene was on the second floor of a nightclub. There were many guests on the dance floor on the first floor at this time. When the body was found, many people came over, so there were many photos of the scene.

Zhu Jue on the other side turned the communication on speakerphone, and waited for Rona to send the photo over, then clicked on it directly.

The corpse in the photo appears in an extremely strange state.

The upper body of the corpse was naked, and the posture was like a person bending forward while struggling in extreme pain. The strange thing was that he did not really fall down, his hands were pinching his neck, and his upper body was twisted like a shrimp's tail. The forehead is less than half a meter from the floor.

Even Zhu Jue couldn't maintain this posture without the help of external force. This in itself was beyond the limit of what humans can do.

But this corpse did it!

Because a large number of dark red silk threads extend from his legs from the calf. No, it is not so much silk thread, but something similar to the roots of trees.

This is far from all.

The pale bone spur broke through the skin from the elbow of the arm. It clearly had no carrier and grew nearly half a meter. Not only did it not look like a skeleton, it became a veritable branch of white bones!

On the back of the corpse's neck and head, there were disgusting plants that looked like lotus pods that were made of flesh and blood rising up. The blank rhizomes at the top made people feel that something had grown there.

"Have you seen the photo? I heard that the deceased was Ceres, the leader of the Silt Gang in Community No. 15. The reason why I contacted you is because there is a similar image in the information I collected. Is the document bag with you?"

"Wait a minute, I'll look for you."

After hearing Rona's explanation, Zhu Jue quickly took the document bag aside. Suzi took it and took out the documents inside, flipping through them one by one.

Compared to Zhu Jue, she was like a scanner.

Look up, look down, turn over one page, then look up, look down again.

Finally settled on a photo.

That was the content of a meeting of the Thorn sect captured by the federal government's insider planted in the parade.

Believers surrounded a "tree" made of discarded metal bars and a large number of rivets. In its external representation, there was no common praise of life in the image of "tree", but only coldness and hardness. The edges are so sharp!

The similarities between the "tree" in this photo and the photo sent by Rona were not as much as expected, but for some reason, Zhu Jue just glanced at them and decided in his heart that they were related.

Rona's current feeling is probably very similar to Zhu Jue's.

"Congratulations Hannibal, cell phone photo!"

Suzi noticed Zhu Jue's mobile phone screen and said suddenly.

When the latter turned his eyes, he found that the photo Rona had just sent had turned into a cracked "white board" with a red exclamation mark next to it.

Obviously, Qianfan City Intelligent Brain strictly prohibits the dissemination of such photos. The document of Rona is probably preserved because it is paper and cannot be affected by Intelligent Brain.

"Mr. Rona, help me pay attention to this case, but be sure to hide your identity and don't let anyone know that you are investigating this matter. As for the reward and investigation funds, I will transfer it to you later and contact you again."

He put down his phone again, picked up the photo in the profile and stared at it for a while, then turned his attention to Suzi and asked again,

"Is there anything that can cause such a degree of mutation in the human body? A medicine or a virus?"

"If some ability injections, including the evolutionary injections currently used by our Yi League, encounter a rejection reaction, the human body will inevitably undergo mutations, but what this state will become is uncertain, because the relationship between people is The physiques between people are also very different, and similarly, the changes that the virus can bring to people are also the same."

The implication of Mozi's words is very clear. Such directional mutations cannot be produced by ordinary medicines or viruses.
